The recall is due to a labeling and packaging problem that is being investigated. These cakes are recalled due to the fact that they are actually “Marketside Ultimate Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake” but they were mislabeled as “Marketside Chocolate Chip Explosion Cake”. Even the title of the cake does not depict that peanuts are a key ingredient. There is also no warning on the label that the product has peanuts to alert people who have a severe peanut allergy.
